Persistence and Extinction of Populations in Finite Domainsuch models are important from an ecological point of view, since they describe population dynamics in island habitats. The main problem consists in determining the critical patch size, i.e., the smallest patch that can minimally sustain a population. As expected intuitively, the critical patch size

One of the first scientists to be intrigued by Turing’s ideas was Wardlaw, a botanist who thought about ways to test the mechanism experimentally [468, 470, 469]. By the early 1970s theoretical biologists and

At the same time, random fluctuations around the mean behavior can be neglected due to a large number of individual particles.
